I Am A Building Lyrics

I'm here by my window I am waiting for your parade And I will salute you from above the crowd As you make your way
You won the battle, baby, you've won the war I admit it now, I could not give any more My condition is your reward I am a building here without doors
The altitude is now getting to me As they applaud you on the boulevard The whole valley looks like someone's body And all the people look like little scars
This day is taking forever I will never say, never say never again The flesh around me is only pretend Return to sender every letter that is yours I am sure that I am a building here without doors
The fire blazing on the overpass Cattle grazing in fields of dead grass Last summer was earthquake weather By November this too should have passed
I am not moving, I am landlocked I am looking through a thousand windows spread across A thousand floors, there in a landfill Where Eden was before, but not anymore I am a building here without doors
Did you, did you see me waving to you from above Things are looking clear now My eyes are wide enough to see the way a sniper does Behind the barrel of a good gun
For worse or better, I surrender It may not matter But I'm sadder than you'll ever know I am your inferno, here all in yellow With embers blowing north
No sense in returning I'm not worried anymore I am a building That is here without doors
I am a building That is here without doors
